Sports Weekend
The Sports Weekend is an important annual Sons of Norway activity
involving all Lodges in Alberta and Saskatchewan. A different lodge
host the Sports Weekend each year. The event takes place over three
days and usually is held between the last week of February and the
second week of March. The weekend starts Friday with registration.
On Saturday, the games take place during the day, followed by a
banquet and dance at night. It ends Sunday with brunch and awarding
of personal and team trophies.
